Dear List,
Does anyone have any timeline information regarding use of suns JDO in a
project, as Craig Russel himself said that suns license issues might change
in this area.! As far as I understand if you include some JDO Interface
classes from SUN in a commercial project, you are breaking the law...? am I
still right ? we are looking for a db persistance technology but from what I
gather ojb is still not stand-alone... I am thinking of using Torque, but
would prefer to use JDO.
regards BEN
The Sun JDORI license only matters if you are using the JDO API for OJB. If you use the PersistenceBroker or ODMG APIs then OJB is fine for production deployment.
If you are set on using the JDO API... Craig Russell claims to have "started the process" back in June. As this is Sun I wouldn't hold your breath for a licensing change, but it will hopefully happen. OTOH, if you contact him directly and ask for permission (heh, hate to advocate harassing a good architect like that, but I don't know who else to point you to -- at least I will refrain from posting his email address) it has been granted to everyone I know of who has requested it.
